The Description

The Loake Imperial is a premium pair of men’s shoes, styled as a classic penny loafer and crafted from soft sand suede leather for a refined yet relaxed look. Built on the traditional College last, it provides a comfortable F fitting with a sleek, timeless loafer silhouette. Featuring traditional Goodyear welted leather soles, Imperial delivers durability, shape retention, and the option of resoling for long-lasting wear. Designed and engineered in Northamptonshire, England, and handmade in our high-grade factory in England, it reflects the very best of Loake’s shoemaking heritage. A versatile loafer that transitions effortlessly from smart-casual to tailored looks.

We recommend using a shoehorn to help maintain the shape, prevent creasing of the heel, and allow the foot to glide in with ease – keeping your shoes looking their best and feeling comfortable from the first wear.

The Last

College

Loafer last shape, designed for use with slip on styles. The College last has a standard length toe, with a pointed round toe shape. This last generally runs true to size, although it is designed to fit snugly as befits a loafer style.
